On 2 June 2021, the antibody-drug combination by the US drugmaker Eli Lilly was granted EUA[1] in India. This combination was permitted for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID -19 in India.
The monoclonal antibody drugs, bamlanivimab 700 mg, and etesevimab 1400 mg, have received permission for restricted use. Eli Lilly has stated that these two drugs are used together for treating mild to moderate patients. [2]
The company is in talks with the Indian government and regulatory authorities to donate these two drugs to India. By doing so, the drug firm hopes to speed up access and provide treatment to all the patients in the country.
